We consider plan-level advisors as those whose value proposition distinctly states that they do NOT work with participants, only the investment committee. Thus, it has been our experience that these types of consultants will typically review the provider's options for advice/account management as well as do due diligence on the third party providers available in order to compare and contrast.
A Typical Due Diligence Process:
- Service Delivery and Approach
- Participant and Plan Sponsor Deliverables
- Investment Management Methodology and Process
- Fiduciary Processes and Regulation Adherence
- Fee Schedule Examples
- IT and Security Infrastructure
- Scalability
